    Am enjoying being here

    Getting involved in different student organizations made my transitions to Armstrong Atlantic great!!!
    Tips for prospective students

    It'll be a great decision. Because our campus is so small, it feels like a family. There are plenty of student organizations to get involved in: Student Government Association, Campus Union Board, Greek Life, Clubs for majors and special interest, intramural and NCAA Sports. Armstrong Atlantic State University was the best choice I've made!!! Become a Pirate today!!!

    Am learning a lot

    The Science classes are very though, even for Biology majors, but Armstrong is a great college. I love it here. Most of the teachers are available to help you during office hours and there are a ton of places to get help on campus as well.
    Am enjoying being here

    Armstrong is in a great city and is conveniently located to shopping, restaurants, etc. It is very nice. The fraternities and sororities are a plus as well.
    Bang for the buck

    Very inexpensive for a University.
    Tips for prospective students

    Come here! You'll love it. I moved here all alone and made friends the first week I was here. Live on campus your first year, you can meet a lot of people that way.

    Am learning a lot

    Before coming to Armstrong I was afraid that it would be very hard to adjust to the college life but after attending classes this semester I have found that the professors have made it an easy transition. They have given me a better appreciation for learning and I have learned a lot throughout the time that I have been here.
    Am enjoying being here

    I really like the environment at Armstrong. Everyone is very friendly and highly school spirited. Here I feel a sense of community and that allows me to enjoy the college life a little better.
    Bang for the buck

    A college education no matter where you go is going to be costly but I feel that I am getting my moneys worth here at Armstrong.
    Tips for prospective students

    I suggest that if you come to Armstrong you should have a mind and will to work. College life in general is not easy. It is a very great learning institution and they are very helpful in helping its students succeed.
    Great for these types of students

    This institution is great for any type of student. I think that if a student is interested in learning and furthering their education would like it here. Overall though, I guess I could say that Armstrong is best for students who are interested in a health profession.

    Am learning a lot

    The professors at Armstrong are incredibly helpful and caring. The classes are small, so not only is there often a lot of in class discussion, but it also makes it easier to get one-on-one time with your professors to ask questions, which they all love to answer. Most of the professors also give very thorough lectures accompanied by PowerPoint presentations projected on the board, which most professors also post online for students to download and reference. With a little bit of studying and good note-taking, any student can succeed here.
    Am enjoying being here

    The smaller campus makes for a very personal feel. Its easy to make new friends and to find people you know because there are frequently outdoor events put together by student organizations. The green space at Armstrong is also very well kept and almost entirely shaded by huge trees. Right across the street is a mall and a large strip of restaurants to go when you want to get off campus for an hour or two, and a simple 20 minute drive will put right in the heart of Historic downtown Savannah, which is full of shopping, parks, and restaurants!
    Bang for the buck

    Considering its size and reputation, Armstrong costs next to nothing, especially if you acquire a scholarship or two. Furthermore, by looking for off-campus housing, which is incredibly easy due to the large number of nearby, affordable apartment complexes, you can cut down the cost of your college experience drastically! Materials for classes can get expensive, but Armstrong's bookstore offers very reasonably priced used textbooks, all in excellent condition.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't overload yourself with classes in your first year. Take it easy with 12-15 hours a semester; the University will allow you to take more if you get a waiver, but 18 or more hours a semester will burn you out quickly.
    Spend your first year in the dorms. You'll meet many more people than you will living off-campus, and it will make sure that you will always be near people who can help you in a time of need, whether personal or academic.
    If you realize that you don't like your major, explore other options. Don't stick to a decision you'll regret later. If you don't like learning about it now, you won't like doing it for the rest of your life either.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who plan on a medical profession (Armstrong works with several large nearby hospitals), students of the liberal arts, and students who currently don't have a declared major (Armstrong has a lot of classes to offer, and amazing class advisers that will help you find what you want to do).

    Am learning a lot

    The small classes and personal professors make learning a breeze. You can always ask and you instantly become a part of your class instead of a face in the back of the room.
    Am enjoying being here

    There is a lot to do and it opens your mind to possibilities. Study abroad, go to the beach, make friends, and get involved. It's so easy to do here.
    Bang for the buck

    I obtained a full ride for my hard work and it's worth every penny.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't worry about the distance. Savannah makes you feel right at home. Most importantly keep an open mind.

    Most of my professors were excellent. A couple spent quite some time one-on-one helping me with assignments. However, I did have one professor who frequently showed up late or not at all.

    I really enjoyed most of my professors. I looked forward to class. Oh, and the campus is beautiful!

    The science and math programs are up to par with GA Tech. I chose to attend Armstrong to get a jump start on my classes before transferring. They have a program especially for students who intend to transfer to GA Tech to complete their degree.
    Did enjoy being here

    Beautiful campus.

    I was drawn to Armstrong by the campus itself- bricks, fountains and gardens surrounded by marshes, friendly southerners and beachfront. Each one of my professors knows my full name, my hometown and my interests and push me. It’s a perfect place to balance your free time and academics, with teachers who actually care about your success and involve you in the outside world from the start- it goes beyond tradition classroom experience.
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply for housing early, and don't overlook little steps involved. If you choose to live off campus, really look into the areas you move to. The same goes for financial aid and if you’re out of state, research the available awards- they are out there and I got two! And if you plan on pursuing a graduate program here, work at least a year or two first; it will compliment the experience here and your internships.
    Academic Rigor

    Courses are not an easy A, but the teachers are always accessible and available and bring in fantastic seminars and guest speakers and internship opportunities. Its goes beyond the traditional classroom.
    Food and Dining

    We do have a Starbucks, and some shops on campus. The dining hall has some impressive selections as well. Not bad for a small school. We are also surrounded by sushi, Mexican, steakhouses, fusion and sport bar dining off campus and very nearby.
    What to do for fun

    I love the location of Armstrong. It is right on the edge of Savannah (literally). Downtown has a wonderful nightlife scene, with clubs and restaurants for every ethnicity and preference. The shopping isn't half bad either. There Is live music everywhere, sporting events, and of course- the beach. Your surrounded by water and places to ride you bike here. Its a jogger/walkers heaven.
    Bang for the buck

    COming out of this program I nearly doubled the legnth of me resume and related work expierience. I can talk with the professionals in my field and menotrs have seemed to really be impressed with my awareness of current health care issues and challenges and decision making. AASU set me up in several off campus internships, which were challenging, fun and very rewarding and set me up with contacts galore in my area.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Yes. Saint Patrick's day is absolutely huge in Savannah. tens of thousands of people come to the city to celebrate, and it is so fun to participate and see all the odd things that walk down river street!
    Great for these types of students

    outdoorsy, tranquil, not a hudge fan of massive crowds, laid back, students that need quiet and privacy when they study, students that have a car, or dont!
    Clubs and Activities

    Volunteer Armstrong is a great opportunity to give back to the community. AASU is also a very active participant in light the Night cancer walk.
    Campus Safety

    Overall,I have never heard of anything happening on campus since I've been here aside of a single car break in. But the campus is open to the city streets, and and poorly lit in select areas ( but these are away from dorms). Police do actively patrol the lots, even at night.

    This school is very diverse. It's not really a party school, but we have alot of cool events. Most of the staff are here to actually help you succeed.
    Tips for prospective students

    Ask questions if you have them, and make friends! Form study groups for your harder classes and sign of for mentor/mentee programs if you have them in your major! Also, be sure to balance work and play!
    Academic Rigor

    The core classes weren't super bad for me, but no college is easy! (If it were, everyone would have a degree, right?)
    Dorm Life

    The actual dorms (when I lived there) were ok, we had typical maintenance issues because the buildings are old, but as of this summer ('12) I hear they're renovating so... Also, they built Freshman dorms (I was lucky enough to be a Sophomore when they were finished) and I personally don't like the rules there, but is has the feel of a more traditional dorm. (No company after 12, 1 kitchen per floor, a roommate in the room, etc)
    Food and Dining

    If you live on campus, you're required to get a meal plan, freshmen meal plans cost the most because they don't have kitchens so they're expected to eat 3x a day in the cafeteria. The food is ok, its All you care to eat once you swipe your ID. Also they have a Wing place, Starbucks, and Quiznos, which you can use your Flex Cash (or normal cash)for. ($150 a semester)
    What to do for fun

    There is a mall across the street, one down the street, we are 15-20 min from downtown, 30-40 min from the beach. For parties, Savannah State and SCAD are minutes away.
    Bang for the buck

    Living on campus gets more expensive every year for the same apartments and amenities. My advice: do your mandatory year as a residential student, find people you can tolerate as roommates, get a job, and move off.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for students who want to get the university feel of college but still want to stay focused.
    Clubs and Activities

    Our school has a club for just about everything!!! SGA, Campus Union Board, Collaboration Models, Collegiate 100, Anime Club, Biology Club, Residential Student Association, NAACP etc.
    Greek Life

    From the Divine Nine, we have DELTA SIGMA THETA, Alpha Kappa Alpha, and Zeta Phi Beta. We also have Sigma Sigma Sigma, Alpha Sigma Tau, Pi Kappa, etc.
    Campus Safety

    The police are always watching. LOL. I'll leave it at that.

    The school itself is very appealing visually, however once you actually start attending the school it does have a good bit of negative attributes. The food in the dining facilities is poor, and the Financial Aid office is almost impossible to work with. Most of the teachers are pretty good and offer good instruction for their classes but if i could afford to i would have loved to have chosen a different school.
    Tips for prospective students

    Savannah is beautiful and AASU is a good school, but be sure you take a tour and get to know the school before you make the decision to attend. You may find you do not like it or it may be just the school for you.
    What to do for fun

    Get off campus, downtown Savannah offers alot for tourists or just people looking for interesting tours or places to go. There are decent beaches near Savannah and two malls in Savannah. However there really isn't anything entertaining on campus.

    small campus that allows freshmen to bring their cars on campus. professors are very friendly and openly encourage for students to come to them for one-on-one time if needed.
    a wide variety of degrees are available along with new ones being added often for minors as well as majors.
    Tips for prospective students

    it's right on the city bus line. across the street from many shopping opportunities as well as various dinning options. movie theaters virtual across the street, one caters the college crowd. it is a dry campus but many bars, pubs, and dinning options that it isn't a major issue. a large local population also goes to the school, much higher student attendance that lives on campus.
    Academic Rigor

    depending on the program desired, i do not feel that the classes are overly hard for coming in freshman and undeclared student. i am aware that the higher you proceed in your education the more demanding and rigorous the work becomes, which is expected for an higher education.
    Dorm Life

    i am not very familiar with the day-to-day dorm life as i live off campus and always have. i do know that there on-campus washer/driers, a fairly large parking lot reserved just for on-campus students. many activities are always going on from comedians, open mic-night, bands, along with organizational sponsored activities. even being an off-campus student, it's hard to be bored.
    Food and Dining

    there are numerous options for dinning available. there is a buffet style cafeteria that is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. a convenience store called 'the pirate pantry' which sales everything from milk, eggs, and cheese, to candy bars, soda, and over the counter medicine. the perk, a starbucks affiliated coffee store. quizno's, one of the only remaining quizno's still in savannah. world of wings, a new food option which sales what else -- chicken wings!

    of course there are other options within walking distance, mcdonald's, taco bell, kroger grocery store, mexican restaurant, subway, mall food court.
    What to do for fun

    many student activities offered every semester and they vary every time so no repeats. a short ride away from downtown where there are numerous clubs, pubs, bars, along with a lot shopping available. not to mention, you'll be living in literally one of the oldest cities in the united states that is still standing how it was originally designed! many touristy things to do.
    Great for these types of students

    unsure of what they want to do with their lives.
    have a strong desire for the medical field.
    Greek Life

    i am aware of numerous fraternity and sorities on campus, so you'll have your pick.
    Campus Safety

    we have a 24/7 campus police, all of which are trained police officers. we do not have any rent-a-cops!

    Being in a Pharmacy major, I thought would be hard until my first semester. However, the reasoning was that I had very few hours compared to my colleagues. Attending Armstrong, I've learned a great deal of responsibility being that I am the only one from my high school, originally from a different state, and live four hours away from my mother.
    Am enjoying being here

    If you don't keep yourself busy by taking the bus or doing anything, I admit it can be very boring on campus. However, please don't use people for rides because once you become dependent sometimes getting a ride may not always happen for you.

    It's iffy on money issues. Yes the campus can be very expensive, however, if you manage your money well and really stay on the financial aid department, then you will be fine.
    Tips for prospective students

    Stay focus! I may sound like a nerd; however, I am focus on school. Growing up in the inner city before moving to Georgia all together I understood the party life. With college, you have to stay focus into your work because it can hurt your academics if not.

    Great classes and professors. Amazing and beautiful historic Savannah. Small campus with a lot of heart.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved! Armstrong has many MANY clubs, organizations, and activities to get involved with. There is always something going on around campus.
    Academic Rigor

    Armstrong is a very challenging university. The professors genuinely care about your success and want to challenge you. Also, being a member of the honors program provides many academic opportunities such as field trips, special classes, and projects.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life at Armstrong is very rewarding! You meet so many people and really are able to get fully immersed in campus life! My best times on campus were when I lived on campus for two years. The dorms are nice too. The new freshmen dorm was built in Fall 2010. There are many different options for on campus housing including two or four bedroom suite style apartments. Also, there are options in central campus and on the serene far ends of campus for less activity. Housing department is very considerate and takes maintenance seriously.
    Food and Dining

    This changes a lot at Armstrong. The Galley, the main cafeteria, is great because it's all you can eat and uses your meal plan. However, they do not provide much variety. The pantry, the conveince store, has many grab and go options for between classes. It requires use of flex dollars, cash, card, or Pirate's Cash. The newly renovated MCC Cafeteria houses the World of Wings cafe and a Quiznos subs. However, these two places (as of right now) do not support the use of meal plan; you must use your Pirate's Cash, flex dollars, cash, or card. Overall, the dining at Armstrong provides many different options that are all located in central campus for convenience.
    What to do for fun

    There is always something to do on campus. Hanging out with other students, Open Mic Night, Greek Week, Variety show, Greek recruitment, etc. Nearly all organizations have events that they throw on campus monthly.
    Bang for the buck

    Definitely great for the cost! Fantastic atmosphere and student life. Great education at a great price!
    Great for these types of students

    Any and all students welcome to check it out! Great for medical majors but also great for liberal majors. Very diverse for everyone!
    Clubs and Activities

    Armstrong provides many activities to get involved with including: Greek Life, Campus Union Board, Special interest clubs, clubs for majors, Intramurals, Athletics, Academic clubs, religious clubs, honors program, Student Government Association, and much more.
    Greek Life

    Greek Life is completely rewarding. There really is an organization out there for anyone who is interested. As a member of the greek life at Armstrong, I have to say it is the best decision I have ever made. It is like a second family especially for those a long distance away from home. I will never regret being Greek. It provides so many networking, academic, community service, and social opportunities.
    Campus Safety

    Always police available on campus. They will even escort you from class to your car at night if you call them.

    Armstrong is a great place to go if you want to start over or get even your prerequisites out of the way in order to pursue what you want without the hassle of taking classes that aren't needed. I have enjoyed Armstrong to the fullest by recently becoming part of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Iota Tau Chapter and love the people that are on the campus. Everyone is pretty much friendly and willing to help others out on campus.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are coming here I suggest you take classes that will help your GPA but are also your prerequisites so you can get them out of the way in order to go straight into your major as soon as possible. Join clubs on the campus because that way you will meet other people who have the same ideas and similar personalities as you and be able to experience the social aspect of college life. Also check out the life around the town. Savannah has a lot to offer those who like to get out more often than others.
    Academic Rigor

    The curriculum at Armstrong is one of the best. So be prepared to study and work hard in all your classes. This is just the beginning.
    Dorm Life

    It's very lively after classes end. People are kind and enjoy entertaining others. You get your own personal space in your room but then you can also walk right out and down the hall in all the dorms to meet up with others for study groups game nights and other events around the dorms.
    Food and Dining

    The food isn't really all that good but the best part is that the dorms all have their own kitchens. So if you don't want to experience the food of the Galley (cafeteria) or the WOW/Quizno's area, you can always make your own meal in your dorm.
    What to do for fun

    There is a mall across the street and other little outlet stores to check out. We just recently got the local public transit to be attached with Armstrong for those who cannot drive and want to experience more than just across the street options.
    Bang for the buck

    Coming to Armstrong is definitely worth it. You pay for your best education so don't expect it to be easy.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Every month we have an Open Mic Night in which we have random students who are brave enough to go on stage and perform for the campus whatever talent it is that they have. Sometimes we even get semi-celeb guest MC's to come and they sometimes put on little performances during the breaks in between the acts.
    Great for these types of students

    This campus is best for those who are there for a change of pace or are close to home and money is tight.
    Clubs and Activities

    Being part of clubs are great. the Japanese Pop-culture Appreciation Club is a great place for those who are interested in the Japanese culture. There are plenty of interest clubs and then the other organizations on campus will show you what they can in order to test your interest.
    Greek Life

    I am part of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. Iota Tau chapter on the campus. Zeta has a lot to offer to anyone that is interested. Big suggestion: do your research, be discreet about what you want to do if it is a NPHC organization, and get acquainted with a few of the members in the organization without giving away your interest.
    Campus Safety

    This campus is very safe. If you do end up having something going missing immediately check lost & found at the police station or the building you may have lost the item in. Not much goes on Armstrong's campus for it to be unsafe for others.

    Financial Aid office is always 2 steps behind. Get financial aid taken care of as soon as possible!!
    Dorm Life

    I do not live on campus but the people that do seem to like it...
    Food and Dining

    I don't often eat on campus, either, because I live off campus.
    What to do for fun

    The mall is across the street with a Target and Bass Pro plus restaurants and small shopping centers. The beach is about 40 minutes away. The school is always offering events for students and the campus itself is beautiful enough to sit around on the many benches surounded by nature.
    Bang for the buck

    The fees are quite hefty but if you use everything that the fees cover then it is really worth it. If you don't take advantage of all the things your mandatory fees are covering then it seems like a waste of money.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    I love the fountain on campus. It offers great seating and gathering space and there are beautiful benches close-by.
    Great for these types of students

    Any types of student can easily find their niche here!
    Clubs and Activities

    I want to join a student organization but none really appeal to me. Having more clubs or at least more information and listings of all of the clubs online would be really helpful.

    Not Greek.

    Located in a terrific setting, with a nearby beach, Armstrong has a relaxed atmosphere. It is a smaller campus, so everything is in walking distance. There are a smaller number of students while at the same time having great programs of study.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure to find your classrooms before the first day, otherwise you'll be late for your class. Rating your professor choices online helps you make an informed decision about your classes. It can often make the difference between a pass and a fail. Interact with your classmates, college is supposed to be fun too.
    Academic Rigor

    Armstrong has a very good academic program. Both the regular and honors systems are set up to help the student gain the best possible grade and understanding in the subject. It can, of course, vary with teachers however.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are pleasant and have activities to do within them as well as decent living conditions.
    Food and Dining

    The food hall has a delicious selection of food, all very well prepared. They also recently added a wing cafe that has excellent food as well.
    What to do for fun

    There are many opportunities to have fun on campus. There is always something to get involved with be it clubs, sports, random other things, karaoke, and more.
    Campus Safety

    There are call boxes located around campus that can be used to contact campus police. They are also willing to walk you out to your car at night if you've stayed late.

    Great school, great professors and the size of the school is not that big. The classroom size is perfect for intimate learning with the professor. If you are looking for these attributes in a university this school is for you.
    Tips for prospective students

    The top tip I would give any student is to know your professors. A lot of the professors on campus are very helpful and really want the students to visit their office hours and speak to him about assignments and projects.
    Academic Rigor

    Even though this is not a major university it is a pretty difficult coursework at this school. A saying around campus is, It is easy to be accepted to Armstrong, but it is hard to stay at Armstrong.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life is pretty average compared to bigger university. You have a lot more personal space than a bigger university. Though housing is increasing dramatically every semester.
    Food and Dining

    Dining services on Armstrong are sub-par in my opinion. After the first month you will become tired of the galley and want to eat elsewhere. Recently, Armstrong opened up two auxiliary food spots on campus (Quiznos, World of Wings). The places are pretty tasty, but the prices are pretty high and you cannot use your meal plan there only your flex funds.
    What to do for fun

    The beach is the main thing that highlights the Savannah area in general. You have Tybee Beach, Hilton Head, and various other beaches along the Georgia coast. They are all within reasonable driving distance of Armstrong's campus. Also you have downtown Savannah where you can do a lot of sightseeing and eating!

    Armstrong is a great school that does not seem to be as hard as it really is. The students receives an amazing education for a small price, even though it is not hard to get in. It is common to overhear that all you need is a heartbeat to get into Armstrong, but you need some real brains to stay in.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't go into a class expecting a grade just for attending. Every grade you receive you earn and it takes a good deal of time to receive a grade you can be proud of. This school gives you a fantastic education, and the professors are inspiring!
    Academic Rigor

    You will need to study. There hasn't been one class I have attended that you didn't do just that.
    Dorm Life

    From what I hear, it is nice. Just built some new dorms a year ago and there are quite a number of students who live on campus. I do not, because my family lives here, so going to school from home was ideal.
    Food and Dining

    The cafeteria has amazing food. You pay a price and you eat what you want. It's not like the processed foods you expect from a cafeteria and there's a starbucks right around from the dining area, along with abundant study areas.
    What to do for fun

    There are a lot of things close by the school. There are 2 movie theaters, a mall and quite a few restaurants. With all the friends you make at this school, there will be quite a few things you can choose to do with your time! It's a very nice atmosphere!
    Bang for the buck

    All in all the school is relatively cheap. The education you receive is definitely worth it. The staff is specially chosen and provide excellent education. I was weary of a saturday class I had chosen to take, but the teacher made me look FORWARD to my eight o'clock in the morning class on saturday. He was fantastic!
    Greek Life

    There are many opportunities for all kinds of sororities and fraternities on campus. There is a great deal of friendliness between sororities and fraternities. You make a great deal of friends and some you can even call family.
    Campus Safety

    The Armstrong police can be a bit strict about parking, but they provide the best security for the campus and it's residents. They are also very nice people on the force and willing to help when there is a problem. My car wasn't working and one of the campus police officers took the time out of his day to help me with my problem. I couldn't have been more thankful.

    This campus is open and dedicated the the education and happiness of their students.They have an equal balance of education and recreational activities. When i visited the campus the friendly people and atmosphere took the fear out of going to college.
    Tips for prospective students

    Relax and don't tear your hair out, the staff are not secretly evil. They really do care about how your doing, and ensuring you succeed.
    Academic Rigor

    Just because they are in Savannah doesn't mean you can just party all the time and still pass, you have to work for your grades but that doesn't mean you can't play some times.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are spacious and put you close to people that have the most in common with you.
    Food and Dining

    There is a wide variety of foods that look fresh and not like they have been sitting under a heat lamp since that morning.
    What to do for fun

    What isn't there to do, just about everything you can thing of is at the school from soccer to karate.
    Bang for the buck

    Compared to what is offered at Armstrong, your paying a lot less. With all the programs offered, i expected to pay a lot more money than i am.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    The best place i saw on campus was the international garden,beautiful and creative but will reek havoc on your allergies.
    Great for these types of students

    Students that can balance their work and play.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are clubs of all kinds that can fit everyone's needs and wants, in or near the campus.
    Greek Life

    I havent participated in greek life yet but i plan to in the future.

    Armstrong Atlantic is an amazing school that provides the best education and experiences of your life. They provide you with all the tools to help you succeed. It is a very campus friendly-place in a great area with a lot of fun activities to do.
    Tips for prospective students

    The tips I would give is to come in college with a agenda to graduate and excel. Not saying you can't have fun and enjoy your college years but make sure you keep in mind the reason you came to the school. Another tip I would give make sure you stay organized because mom and dad won't be there to wake you up for class. Write down a daily to do list of things you want to accomplish so you stay on track. Lastly, have fun. This is going to be the most memorable years of your life , so live it up.
    Academic Rigor

    At Armstrong, education is taken very seriously. When I went to the campus visit, the group instructor told us that the three hardest courses are Economics, Biology, and Math. But they offer many tutoring services to help you. If you stay focused in class and speak to the professor, you will see much improvement in your work and study habits.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are great, well speaking for the upperclassmen. For the freshman , they are only two types of dorms to chose from. But the freshmen dorms are only two years old so they are fairly new. They also have game rooms and tv rooms on the dorm floors where you can hang out with. They have a small kitchen area for the students who stay on that side of the dorms could use. But overall , it is very comfortable and makes you feel at home or if your at a nice hotel.
    Food and Dining

    Well the food is not the best in my opinion. They only have five different areas to chose from which are a pizza area, a grill area, a salad bar, a sub area, and a home-cooked area. On the campus visit I ate the pizza which was very good but the other areas didn't appease me too much but I'm a picky eater though. On campus they do have a starbucks, a subconnection, and a wings place. But outside of our school campus, is a ton and I mean a ton of restaurants and fast-food places to eat from if you don't like the food on campus.
    What to do for fun

    Because Savannah is a nice quiet place, the only place for fun is in Downtown Savannah. Outside Armstrong there are two malls within a 5 mile radius from the campus as well. There is also the beach which is like 15 minutes away.

    The school is small in both population and campus size. However, Savannah is a little big city that is rich with history, nightlife, and has a diverse population that compensates for the size of the school. Academically, the school is well respected, as are the the athletic teams.
    Tips for prospective students

    Respect the deadlines! whether it be applications/financial aid/housing or any other university centered process, pay careful attention to the deadlines.
    Academic Rigor

    For a small school, the departments demand that the teachers provide the students with a fundamentally sound education.
    Dorm Life

    Freshman dorms are brand new and very nice. The rest of the on- campus housing is being renovation every summer.
    Food and Dining

    If you're looking to gain the freshman 15, the on-campus dining will be like a dream come true. The Main dining area, the Caf, is a buffet style common area with lots of choices, but no quality.
    What to do for fun

    There are tons of Greek, athletic, academic, and special interest organizations to be a part of! Otherwise going downtown is always a great time (if youre 21), to go to the many bars, clubs, festivals, and other social activities. If not 21 yet, statesboro is a 20 minute drive away where there are plenty of bars, clubs, and college students.

    Armstrong is small but it is a good school with good professors. I have enjoyed my classes and enjoy the size. I can get too any of my classes in under ten minutes no matter where on campus I am, I enjoy this after hearing the horror stories about colleges I had thought about attending prior.
    Tips for prospective students

    The bursars office can be a mess when it comes to paying for the semester and many of the people who you talk to may not be able to answer your questions though they like to pretend they can. If you can figure it out from home then do it, It will save you time and the headache.
    Food and Dining

    They're are a couple of places to eat on campus and they do the job, but if you are they're everyday prepare to want to drive or walk to the local stores and restaurants.
    What to do for fun

    Armstrong is a small college on the outskirts of Savannah and I quiet enjoy it. I see people I know everyday in between classes and it is much more social than previous schools I have attended in larger cities. There's always something going on that you can easily get involved with.

    AASU is simply the best college around. I believe attending this university has simply made the greatest impact on my life for I now know the importance of education. Also, I now love going to school, being involved in leadership and volunteer activities, and at AASU I have made amazing relationships with the faculty, staff, and students!
    Academic Rigor

    At AASU, all of the professors, especially in the department of Health Sciences make a successful impact on all students. The professors are simply, the best!

    Armstrong is a good place to be if you are looking for a cheap public university with semi-excellent quality. It is good for students majoring in any kind of health career, but I am an education major and my classes are also good! This school is not a party school, so if that is what you are looking for you probably shouldn't come here.
    Tips for prospective students

    Do your best in all the classes you take and try to live on campus! The Armstrong community isn't what I was looking for in a college, compared to other schools but, they are doing the best they can since it is mostly a commuter school. Living on campus really does help.
    Academic Rigor

    I would give it a 3 and a half. But, I am only a freshman and have really only taken core classes. Your major's classes will be a lot tougher. I am in an upper level biology course and that is really difficult, arguably the hardest course on campus!
    Dorm Life

    Windward is where the freshmen live. It is brand new, so it is really nice and you can opt to live in a private where you only have to share a bathroom with your roommate! The only problem is the high security they keep on us. I can't wait to live in the apartments next year.
    Food and Dining

    Well, I really want to get off my meal plan, that is for sure! It isn't worth what you pay. They make very few things that are really good. They don't know how to make good healthy food. But, you can always count on them to make good bad food, like fries or pizza, hence why I want to get off the meal plan!
    What to do for fun

    They have open mic nights every month. Go to those because they are a lot of fun! They have various events for fun too on campus. But off campus, going downtown, to the mall, and to the beach are fun things to do because they are so close.
